Challenge - Success

Success - I believe we all view success differently. Some say success is when you achieve greatness through a job, making it to the top. Become wealthy beyond ones own means. For others success can be the little things in life. The first steps after a terrifying accident, a child's first words, a cure for a decease.
Think about this word: Success. What does it mean to you?
In this challenge I would like you to make a page

1: where you journal about what the word means to you.
-or-

2: using a quote or poem as inspiration.

-or-

3: where you journal about the success you would like to achieve or maybe wish for others to achieve.

True Success by C. Hoppe

I hope my achievements in life shall be these:
That I will have fought for what was right and fair,
that I will have risked for that which mattered,
that I will have given help to those who were in need,
That I will have left the earth a better place for what I've done and who I've been.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Success by Ralph Waldo Emerson

To laugh often and love much,
to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children,
to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends,
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others,
to give of one's self,
to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition,
to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation,
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived,
this is to have succeeded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope you have fun doing this challenge.
